By this construction, it will be seen that the 

 point is securely held in position by means of 

 its beveled or lap joint connection with the up- 

 per idate and the single bolt passing through 

 boles in the plow-point and supporting-plate, 

 and that wheu a plow-point is worn or broken 

 it can readily be removed and a new plow-point 

 substituted for it. It will also be seen that in 

 the operation of the shovel the princip.il strain 

 is borne by the supporting -plate A, which in 

 my construction issecured to the upper plate,
